An Introduction
This book is my best attempt at a thorough transcription from tape of “a very difficult moment” in United States History. I report within this work both sides from this political/legal debate, though I refrain from reporting excessive wording from far-right or far-left political entities. This work is also not a diatribe of my own analysis from the facts, rather the book’s scope and purpose is to simply, and clearly show each action as they in-fact happened in time so that you, the reader can come to greater analysis and conclusions from these moments within your own good sense of logic. This writing is truly my own integrated attempt to bring those whom are interested back into this timeframe so that you might experience, and actually feel this truly interesting, though tragic (in my opinion) moment of history once again or for the first time with a certain accuracy.
This book quotes word for word, syllable for syllable the statements and questions from most of these important political players, including the Florida and U.S Supreme Court’s sitting judges (with a complete coverage within this book of these legal hearings) while I also rebroadcast here many of the reporters whom handled coverage of this immense legal debacle of U.S. election law.
Within this book you will again find how the Democrats made the severe, but honest mistake of calling upon the American Public’s—and of all our Courts’ in general—honesties. They called upon our Constitutionally-fair assessments, our heartfelt intelligence, and for our basic interest in concluding this matter by describing to us the facts in intelligent terms, with truthful descriptions of fact and justly-held American law. And they, the many supporters of the facts—including many of the players, reporters and commentators—quoted herein, pursued that which the laws of Florida and of our Nation described as the legal course.
The problem was that most Republicans were so very sly, and enough to call upon our dark side [the deceitful nature of so many Bush-type Americans]; with James Baker-and-Co.’s longwinded public statements filled with such reconstructed truths, fabricated truths, skewed truths—even using deliberate deceit—with their simple but untrue mantras: "..Count after count after count"; or "Somebody could easily cause mischief with the ballots", repeated so many times for the overwhelmingly shallow minded and tunnel-vision thinkers of this country.
And then not so many of us even paid enough real attention, or showed personal and genuine interest as to how our one vote, and thus, how our rightful Democracy became stolen from us!
Too bad, huh..?
But: The real problem for us, still today, is: Things have not changed!
This Book is a report on all the players: The principles; the surrogates; the reporters and the commentators. All of whom also participated in this misguided adventure in political history.
